Bazaar’s decor is memorable – think ornate chairs, plush sofas, beautiful Indian motifs and autographed photos of yesteryear’s Bollywood entertainers – and the North Indian fare delights, but when you experience the noise levels emanating from the restaurant’s musical act, forget polite dinner conversation. The troupe plays instruments, sings and dances to popular Hindi classics and, while the antics on stage are distracting, it’s still a welcome change from those lonely restaurants where diners spend all night thumbing their mobile phone. Like the best bazaars in India, it’s a bit of a sensory overload – but this should be embraced wholeheartedly.

Went there earlier in the month for a quick lunch only to find that I was the lone diner there and keeping me company was the musician playing the sitar with a recorded song in the background.
Had the kebabs for a starter which was enough to be shared by 2. the chutney didn't have the zing to add to the kebabs taste. The mutton mains was too spicy.
Hope to give the place another try.

Food takes really long to be served, food was also oily.... the music was good though the dance is not something I would recommend for family. It was also expensive for the kind of food and service. In short, I would avoid going to this place.

On last Friday,I went to Antique Bazaar with two more friends, hostess helped me to get a table even though I didnt had booking. Waiter approached us in friendly manner and given right suggestions for food & drink. Entertainment group was looking very organised and were playing nice selected songs and we enjoyed great dancing performance as well. Food was superb and Service was excellent.
I have to agree this is a perfect venue for indian food lovers with live bollywood style entertainment.

Seating was too crowded. I got the only table between the kitchen and the entrance. I could not even pull my chair back to sit in it and had to somehow slide in. Music was loud and off key. Dancers made it look like some shady Indian pub. Food was ok. Service was terrible. Not going back there ever again.

I'm just back after a business dinner at ANTIQUE BAZAAR and it really made me to review the restaurant at this late nite.

1) Inspite of a dinner table reservationfor 8 Pax, they kept us in a embrass situation when myself & guests arrived at restaurant with a surprising note as there is no table left and there is no booking made.

2) It was really pathetic when the staff picked back the served pieces of Kababs from my plate and served to other guest in our group without no request to do so

3) Service levels are utterly poor and the Staffs are not well trained or professional to manage a decent crowd in the deserved way.

4) Entertainment Dance and loud songs were resembling a local BAR in gutters... No way it can be considered as a family restaurant.

Its a restaurant best for NOTHING and its such a wondering experience from a Sheraton managed hotel...

I have to agree that it not a place for family dinner, because of all dancing stuff. I and my family were much embraced of the dancers who were dancing on songs. I didn't know of that, otherwise I wouldn't take my family.

If I take out the dancing element, it will make the ambience and dining a great and joyful experience.

I have to agree that the restaurant has some tasty and unique dishes in their menu. I liked most of their curry items. I will go back again to try out some items from their menu and this time I may go alone or with friends...
